Monitoring with Monitoring Studio

Home  Previous  Next

Monitoring Studio is a module that allows PATROL administrators to set up the monitoring of custom applications and other applications, devices or IT components for which there are no standard KMs.

Once installed, Monitoring Studio provides a graphical user interface through which the administrators can use diverse monitoring tools with great flexibility to monitor their applications/devices/technologies. The user - friendly wizards enable the administrators to decide what should be monitored and how it is to be monitored. Once Monitoring Studio is properly configured, the application/device or IT component appears on the PATROL Console and operators are alerted when a failure or anomaly occurs (depending on the settings).

An easy-to-use GUI to setup the monitoring of an application or IT component

Monitoring Studio provides a graphical user interface that allows PATROL administrators to set up the monitoring of an application or any other IT component.
